10K on Deck
After everyone cleaned up Bailey, Cody, Woody and Zack make their way to the game room together.
"So how is your roommate?" Zack asks Bailey.
"He seems OK so far, haven't really talked to him much though. How is the living situation with you guys'?" Bailey replies.
"Well I think Woody and I are gonna get along great, but Cody might have a hard time, being a germaphobe and stuff." Zack says.
"Why don't we play some pool and let Cody and Woody work out their issues." Zack offers and starts to play pool with Bailey.
"We have issues?" Woody asks his new roommate.
"No,no. Yes." Cody confesses.
"Why can't we get along like them?" Woody asks Cody pointing at Bailey and Zack before he leaves disappointed.
"I hate this stupid sea school and this stupid boat." London exclaims walking up to the three standing at the pool table.
"Hey, the Laser game is open." Zack says, seeing some kids leave the game station.
"I love this stupid boat, dibs on the gold headphones. They match my outfit." London shouts as they make their way over to the station and everyone puts on the headphones, grabs a gun controller and starts shooting at the screen. Unnoticed by them an announcement is made while they have the headphones on.
'Attention, we will now conduct our first lifeboat drill. Report to your assigned muster station.' The intercom says before it starts to play a bell sound three times in a loop.
Seeing the kids around them clear the game room the four of them take off their headphones.
"Boy that is a loud bell, I can barely hear myself not think." London says.
"What does three consecutive alarm bells mean?" Bailey asks the group.
"Uhh, I don't know let me check." Cody says, taking out a pamphlet.
"One bell breakfast, two bells lunch, three bells sinking ship. Sinking Ship!" Cody tells them freaking out as they realize what's happening.
"What way?" Zack asks as they run out of the game room.
"port." Cody tells him and they run down the hallway after reminding London that Port is the other way.
"Hurry, the water is already tipping us over." London says panicked.
"No, you just broke your heel." Bailey corrects her.
"Worse!" London exclaims.
"Look, life jackets." Zack says and everyone puts them on.
"Look an exit, let's get out of here." Cody says, and everyone runs at the door, pushing through it simultaneously and run out on the sky deck, where they trip and fall into the jacuzzi.
"We fell overboard." Zack yells.
"Why is the ocean so hot?" London questions.
"Probably because it's a hot tub." Mr. Moseby tells them, standing next to the jacuzzi.
"here is your hat Bailey, Dude you're a girl." Cody says handing her the cap and stares at her shocked.
Once they get out of the hot tub Emma Tutweiller, the teacher confronts Bailey while they dry themselves off with a towel.
"Mrs. Pickett, why on earth would you masquerade as a boy?"
"Well I, I don't know." Bailey says guiltily.
"Just tell them. It was her only way to get out of Kettlecorn Kansas." 10K tells their teacher.
"Well, Bailey your application was by far the most impressive." Mrs. Tutweiller says thoughtfully.
"Wait a minute what? What about my essay on barnacle reproduction? I had pictures." Cody asks shocked.
"Can I see them?" Woody asks intrigued.
"Bailey, I'd let you stay but unfortunately we don't have a cabin to put you in." Mrs. Tutweiller tells her.
"She can continue stay in my room, I don't mind." 10K offers.
"I meant a girls' cabin, they are on another deck. Every girl has a roommate though." Mrs. Tutweiller tells them.
"Except for me." London cheers behind them.
"London, thank you! Thank you!" Bailey says grateful.
"Huh?" She asks confused.
"London, it's so nice of you to offer to share your room with Bailey." Mr. Moseby says.
"I wasn't offering. I was gloating. Here is a diamond necklace, drop out." London tells her, taking off the necklace she was wearing.
"I wouldn't drop out of this school for all the money in the world." Bailey replies.
"I could get that." London offers.
"No, I wanna stay here and be your B.f.f." Bailey says while she's hugging her.
"Get o.f.f." London tells her.
"I will not share a room!" London complains.
"You will if you want to stay in this school." Mr. Moseby tells her.
"I don't, hasn't anyone been listening to a single word I've said? Stupid sea school, ugh it's just a big pain in the butt." London says and storms off.
|later that day|
"Mr. Moseby, read this note from London." Mrs. Tutweiller tells him handing him a paper.
"I can't take it anymore, no one understands me. No one cares about me. I'm going to a place where no one will ever find me. P.S. please send my luggage to daddy's villa on Parrot Island even though that's not where I'm going." Mr. Moseby reads out loud.
"What are we gonna do? Mr. Tipton is not gonna like my losing his daughter on the first day off school!" Mrs. Tutweiller screams freaking out.
"You need to relax, the point of putting London on the boat is that there is no way off of it." Mr. Moseby tells her.
"Hah, you're right. Except by helicopter." Mrs. Tutweiller sighs out relieved until they hear a helicopter leaving the boat.
"Oh, and the pilot is wearing London's diamond necklace. Frank you better turn that whirly bird around." Mr. shouts angrily, looking through binoculars he took from a passenger.
|an hour later|
"It's all my fault London left." Bailey says guiltily, while she's sitting at the juice bar with Zack and 10K.
"No, it's not, she hated a lot of things on this boat besides you." Zack says. "That came out wrong." He corrects himself.
"Don't blame yourself, it's her fault for not being able to deal with a roommate." 10K tells her.
"Here Bailey, this will cheer you up, I ordered it just for you. It's a seaweed smoothie with a broccoli boost." Cody says, offering her the drink.
"We wanted a cheer up not a throw up." Zack tells him.
Behind them Mr. Moseby's phone rings.
"Finally. Captain I know you must be extremely busy with important things. Oh miniature golf really? Captain Lundsfurth, you need to turn this ship around. We're missing a student. Well here's why you should care. That student is London Tipton." Mr. Moseby tells him, and the boat immediately shifts, turning around headed towards Parrot island.
|the next morning|
"OK, the whole class is here except for Zack Martin." Mrs. Tutweiller says having checked attendance with her student roster.
"Get used to that." Cody tells her as Zack arrives behind her, scaring her.
"Sorry, I overslept." Zack apologizes.
"We were in Biology class." Cody tells him.
"Exactly." Zack says.
"Anyway, this unscheduled stop to look for London on this tropical Island presents us with a unique educational opportunity.
"We're gonna learn how to surf!" Zack says excitedly.
"Yeah, cowabunga. Hang eleven." Woody agrees excited.
"It's hang 10." Cody corrects him.
"Not when you got eleven toes." Woody disagrees.
"You got 6 toes on one foot?" Zack asks weirded out.
"No, 8 and 3." Woody tells him pointing at his respective feet.
"I meant an opportunity to study the history of the island. Now parrot island was colonized …" Mrs. Tutweiller starts to explain when Bailey cuts her off. "By the British. At the tail end of the age of exploration."
"Well to be more precise…" Mrs. Tutweiller starts to say when Cody interrupts her.
"1762 Wednesday around lunch."
"Thank you, well let's take a look at this beautiful lush paradise." Mrs. Tutweiller says and leads them to the railings where they see that the island is only a barren wasteland.
|on parrot island|
"Now the reason this Island is a popular tourist destination, or was. Is because of the rare parrot species poisuffolous insulas." Mrs. Tutweiller explains as she looks at the abandoned tourist attractions surprised.
"Which was not indigenous to these islands." Cody says.
"It was introduced to this habitat by explorers on the way back from the new world." Bailey adds.
"Cody, Bailey you're teaching my class. Again. My point is that this parrot is best known for its beautiful plumage and unique mating call, hah!" Mrs. Tutweiller says, rushing through the last part so Cody can't interrupt her again.
"She left out it eats squab feet's. Sorry. "Bailey says but apologizes seeing Mrs. Tutweiller's annoyed look.
"Now that we're ashore, we operate on the buddy system. So, choose your partner." Mrs. Tutweiller tells her students and Zack and Cody immediately run over to Bailey telling her "Come on buddy." Simultaneously.
"I call dibs." Cody says pulling at her arm.
"No, I saw her first." Zack protests pulling at her other arm.
"Uhm guys, I'm not the last slice of pizza." Bailey tells them.
"Of course, you're not. Excuse us." Zack says pulling his twin to the side.
"Why are you hitting on Bailey? You have a girlfriend." Zack says.
"Look before we left I told her it might be hard for me to resist the advances of beautiful exotic women from around the world." Cody tells him.
"What did she say?" Zack asks.
"She laughed. But I took it as a go for it." Cody explains.
In the meantime, Mr. Moseby went to a local townsman who took over multiple jobs after many left the island with the parrots, after Mr. Tipton cut down all the trees on the Island.
Amongst those jobs is police officer and judge and with those roles he imprisoned Mr. Moseby just like he has imprisoned London the day before, telling them that she has to write a check for 10 Million dollars for the island to regrow the trees and try to get the Parrot population back to their island.
|With the students|
"Wow, you're just an incredible artist." Zack tells Bailey.
"Huh? I was just trying to get my pen to work." Bailey tells him hitting the paper with the tip of the pen.
"Oh, look where did that little piggy come from?" Bailey asks delighted, seeing a snorting piggy in some bushes.
"That's what the Doctor said when he has my extra toes." Woody says grinning.
"Are you stuck? Here I have something for you. Do you like nuts?" Bailey says offering the pig some nuts she got out of her pocket.
"Oh, this rope is a leash." She then noticed the rope lying next to the pig and puts it around the pig.
"Oh, he's so sweet he reminds me of my pet pig back on the farm. Sir snort a lot and I were best friends. Then one day I woke up and he wasn't there anymore. I got really worried, but momma told me he moved to the big city." Bailey tells them, making the others looks doubtfully.
"I'm gonna call you porkers, you like that name?" Bailey tells the piggy, patting its back.
"Mr. Moseby is not back with London yet and the boat leaves in an hour. I'm gonna go find them." Mrs. Tutweiller tells them worriedly.
"Since it's partly my fault London left I'm gonna look too." Bailey says.
"Me too." Zack agrees.
"So will I." Cody chimes in.
"Same." 10K says.
"Great then we'll use the buddy system." Bailey tell them. "You guys go together, and I'll go with Woody." Bailey says and leaves with Woody while Zack and Cody just follow them, leaving 10K to look around on his own.
The group of four find the same townsman Mr. Moseby talked to and explain that they are looking for London, causing him to throw them into Jail as well.
"Wow you are worse rescuers than Moseby." London says.
"You can't arrest them for just knowing London." Mr. Moseby protests.
"It's a good point. Aha, Miss I don't suppose you have a Pig license." The man says seeing Bailey's new pet pig.
"As a matter of fact, I do." Bailey says getting out some papers.
"Ah. I have something, this pig license is only valid in Kansas." The man tells her.
"Great now we're stuck here forever." Mr. Moseby complains.
"Wait, I have an idea. Come here Porkers." Bailey tells them and attaches a note to the pig explaining their situation and sends it off to get help.
|A few minutes later|
"Man, the boat leaves in 20 minutes. Where is everyone?" 10K asks himself worried.
He then hears the pigs snorting and follows it, finding it standing where Bailey first found it and sees the note attached to it.
"London, Bailey, Woody, Mr. Moseby, Zack and Cody are all locked in jail and I need to rescue them?" How'd they manage that?" 10K asks incredulous but hurries to the direction of the jail anyway.
|In the jail cell|
"None of this would have happened if you hadn't wanted me to room with little miss cow cake." London complains.
"It's cow pie and now instead of roommates we're cell mates. Does that make you happy Mrs. Covered in diamonds?" Bailey retorts.
"Is that an insult? Because that sounds pretty good to me." London replies.
"Guys are you in there?" 10K asks having arrived at the back of the police station and is pulling himself up by the bars on the window to peek in.
"I knew my pig mail would work, it's how they delivered mail in Kettle corn until 1995." Bailey says delighted.
"Let me guess your phone is two cans and a string?" London taunts her making Bailey frown.
"How did you all wind up in there?" 10K asks them.
"It's a long story, but you have to break us out of here." Mr. Moseby says.
"Alright." 10K says and let's go of the bars and sneaks around to the front door.
"Where did he go? Did he just bail on us?" Zack asks disappointed.
"Maybe he has a plan to get us out." Bailey says hopeful.
"Who was that anyways?" Mr. Moseby asks.
"10K or Thomas, he's the one I was roomed with when everyone though I'm a boy." Bailey informs him.
"I'm hurt you don't remember me Mr. Moseby, we already met on several occasions." 10K says having sneaked into the jail undetected.
"We have?" Mr. Moseby asks surprised.
"Sure, I came along with my dad. He's one of Mr. Tiptons security men, don't tell me you forgot when we shot up your hotel with paintballs?"
"That was you?" Mr. Moseby asks fearful.
"Yep." 10K replies and moves over to their cell door and starts to pick the lock.
"What are you doing? It takes a lot of practice to pick a lock." Cody asks him as the door opens with a click.
"Apparently something you have." Cody says apologetic.
"Yay we're free." London cheers as they leave the cell.
"Thanks, 10K." Bailey says hugging him thankfully, making him blush slightly.
"Uhm, here is your pig." 10K tells her and hands her the leash with her new pet attached to it.
They then hear the ships horn.
"OK, we have 5 Minutes, if we run we can just make it." Mr. Moseby says, and everyone rushes out of the police station, running towards the dock.
On the way to the docks Bailey runs into a post card stand.
"Wait, wait look at these post cards." Bailey tells them.
"Look you can send post cards from the next port." Zack says trying to get her to continue on.
"No, I mean look how lush and beautiful this island used to be." Bailey explains.
"And now It's a dump so let's get out of here." London says.
"it's a dump because your father ruined it. And he should fix it." Bailey tells her.
"She's right, it's that kind of corporate greed that is destroying the environment." Cody says.
"Wow this place really did use to be beautiful." London says looking at the post card.
"Yes, and we can all be sad about it on the boat." Mr. Moseby says trying to get them to continue on to the boat.
"You know London if you paid to replant the island the parrots might come back." Cody tells her.
"And the islanders would be so grateful they'll print your face on the back of their coins." Bailey adds.
"Then I could flip myself to decide which shoes to wear." London gasps.
"Hold you're surrounded." The police officer tells them blowing his whistle.
"By just you?" Woody asks.
"Pretty much." The man replies.
"Come on let's go, pay this clown or don't I don't care lets just get back on the boat. We only have 2 more minutes." 10K tells them, pushing past the officer who tries to stop him but 10K uses the hand to hand combat training from his father to just twist the guys arm behind his back and shove him to the side.
"I agree." Mr. Moseby says.
"How about I give you the 10 Million dollars to plant the trees." London says filling out a check.
"That will work." The officer says and takes the check while everyone else runs to the ship.
|On the ship|
"London we were worried sick about you. You're grounded." Mrs. Tutweiller tells her.
"technically you can only give detention, I can ground. You're grounded!" Mr. Moseby corrects her.
"And so is your helicopter pilot and your private submarine." Mrs. Tutweiller adds.
"I guess I'm stuck here." London says getting up from the lounger.
"I know, I know with me as your roommate." Bailey says walking up from behind her with 10K.
"Yeah that is depressing. But you did get us out of that jail cell." London says.
"So, does that mean we're OK?" Bailey asks.
"Sure." London agrees.
"Hey by the way with the room situation, if you want you can still stay in our room and just go sleep in London's room or something. Like I said I don't mind and don't need the extra space anyways and this way London will still have almost the whole room to herself." 10K offers.
"Do you think It would work?" Bailey asks.
"I don't know, I just wanted to offer the possibility." 10K replies.
"Oh please, please, please." London begs.
"OK I guess, we can try it out but if it doesn't work or Mr. Moseby gets wind of this I'll have to move to your room full time." Bailey tells London.
"Alright I guess." London pouts.
"Maybe I can be like your big sister." London tells her.
"Actually, I have 6 big sisters and 3 little ones." Bailey tells her.
"Wow your mom needs a hobby." London exclaims before she leaves to go shopping.
"Thanks again for everything you did for me today." Bailey thanks 10K.
"Don't sweat it. I think we should try to keep it a secret from those three across the hall though." 10K replies as they make their way to their cabin.
"Why?" Bailey asks.
"the twins seem to be smitten with you and I don't think you would get much time alone if they knew you were still staying across the hall." 10K explains.
"You think so?" Bailey asks.
"Yeah, I mean your beautiful, funny, kind and obviously quite smart if you showing up Mrs. Tutweiller was anything to go by." 10K tells her, holding open their cabin door.
"Thank you." Bailey says blushing at the compliments.
"Hey since you're so smart maybe you can help me figure my fishing situation out when you got time." 10K tells her patting the porthole in their room.
"Sure, it's the least I can do for letting me stay here." Bailey agrees and starts to take down the room separator.
"Don't you want to keep that for your privacy?" 10K asks surprised.
"Oh, no that was only an attempt to hide the fact that I'm a girl." Bailey replies.
"Alright." 10K says and helps her get the contraption off the walls.
"By the way where did you learn that with the police officer?" Bailey asks intrigued while they are taking down the line.
"My father taught me, he taught me normal classes too but most of his teaching was survival, self defense and shooting." 10K tells her.
"Wow must have been harsh." Bailey says.
"Not really, it's all I have known plus I like it. I even won some shooting competitions and not only for juniors." 10K tells her proudly.
"Wow, maybe you can show me that sometime then." Bailey says impressed.
"Sure, I'd be happy to." 10K replies with a smile.
"So, any rules for our living situation?" 10K asks her.
"Well, obviously no entering the bathroom while the other one is in there. No going through the others stuff. And changing only in the bathroom?" Bailey suggests.
"Sure, sounds good, anything else we'll have to decide on as we go I guess." 10K agrees.
"Oh, I think I owe you something though, you trusted me to keep your secret I think I should to the same." 10K says.
"No, you don't have to." Bailey tells him.
"But I want to, I think you're a nice girl and that I can trust you. The secret is that I'm supposed to keep an eye on London for Mr. Tipton. But he doesn't want her to know since she'd be annoyed by that and throw a hissy fit." 10K tells her.
"Wow, how did you get that job?" Bailey asks.
"Well one time I accompanied my dad while he was guarding Mr. Tipton and after hearing that I'm going to the 7 seas at the same time his daughter is he just offered me the job once he saw my skillset." 10K explains.
"So, you actually get paid for that?" Bailey questions.
"Yeah, I'd do it for free, but I mean I'm like in the top 10 of the richest people on board because of his salary. No way I was going to say no to that. Especially considering what kind of businessman Mr. Tipton is. You saw what he did to the island." 10K tells her.
"Yeah, well OK see you tomorrow then I guess. I'd better head to London's room to make my bed and store a few clothes to sleep in there. Oh, I almost forgot to ask, do you mind if Porkers stays here once he's out of quarantine?" Bailey tells him as she takes a few things from her bags before leaving the room.
"No, it's OK with me, as long as we can teach him to do his business where he's supposed to." 10K says.
AN: PM or reviews are apprechiated :)
